I still have a batch of frozen blackberries that I picked up last Summer near grandma's house. There are infinite delicious things I can do with them, from just let them thaw naturally and toss them into a salad, to super fancy recipes. I can even use them as a natural mascara for my eyelashes (that's a topic for another day)...

I'm hungry but I don't have much time to invest on something too complicated. J is out playing soccer with friends and is coming home soon, and I want to prepare something comforting for his dinner. That's my positive reinforcement for him doing sports.

So back to blackberries...

I decided to prepare a quick Blackberry Jam to spread on top of some chopped bananas as a pre-dinner snack. Since bananas are sweet enough I prepared a not-so-sweet jam. It is sugar-free and has lime juice that gives it an extra kick. Flax seeds gives it a thick texture, ideal to eat spoonfuls...

I let the blackberries soft at room temperature for about 10 minutes, so they were easier to process.

It was a great topping for my sweet bananas...I'm having a million ideas of what I can do with this jam, I'll let you know.

I found some corn crackers and I decided to try one spread with the jam. Definitely, this jam is better combined with sweet things like bananas. It would be perfect as the topping of a "cheese"cake, but that has to be kept for another day...

Blackberry Jam (Sugar-free)

Method of Preparation:1. Remove blackberries from freezer and allow them to soften a bit at room temperature.2. Put blackberries in the food processor along with flax seeds, lime juice and vanilla seeds and process them for a couple of minutes, until a smooth consistency is obtained.3. Can be served immediately or kept in the freezer in a airtight container for 3 to 4 days.
